| Research Abstract |
To elucidate the functional evidence of motherinfant interaction, we made simultaneous monitoring of cerebral activation in infants and their mothers, using nearinfrared spectroscopy(NIRS). We found high correlation between the activation of infants and that of mothers when the mothers held their own infants at rest, suggesting motherinfant interaction. We also monitored cerebral activation in premature infants using NIRS and confirmed that correlation between different brain areas depends on brain maturation and disabilities of the infants.
